The concept - Grabbing life by the balls and getting out into nature, exploring places you have to hike to, being out in nature and simultaneously at one with it.
The result - You have mastered the basics of a) walking and b) photography, but do not seem to have brought your imagination along for the ride and applied any form of creative process to your #travelstoke #adventurephotography #yolo portfolio.
Alternative variations - open van door (#vanlife #actuallyjustabumwithadslrandalongboard), open sleeping bag (#tentsareforpussys #madlad)
The concept - Living on the edge, facing danger head-on, the fragility and insignificance of our place on this planet.
The result - People with acrophobia clench their rectums so tight they won't shit for a week, everyone else wonders if there's a special category in the Darwin Awards under Photographers Plummeting to their Deaths on Crumbling Cliff Edges
Alternative variations - The drop is in an optical illusion and the daredevil adventure photographer would drop approximately three feet if they went #overtheedge
Alternative alternative variation- Hanging by one hand from a crane #russiansonly #nutjobs
The concept - Suggesting the immutable infinite nature of the galaxy, the insignificance of our place in the universe and the juxtaposition of the light from our galactic core with our ionic emissions from Earth.
The result - Man with 'World's Brightest Flashlight' (that he picked up on Amazon specifically for this purpose) looks like he wandered into the shot by accident and just heard a noise in a nearby tree.
Alternative variations - Stand on a rock
Alternative alternative variation - Stand on a rock, wearing an Ever Ready headtorch and hold your hands out in a Christ-like pose while your friend light paints you from behind.
The concept - You're a waterman, at one with the ocean, as at ease in heavy surf as you are on dry land, the ocean is an unforgiving mistress but you face that danger every day and find beauty within it. #beachlife #surfsup
The result - You're no Clark Little, so you shot with a small zoom inside a two foot wave that was breaking metres from the beach, but when you can afford a waterproof housing you'll definitely get into some huge 2metre swells. #yourenotfoolinganyone
The concept - Marvelling at the beauty of nature and mankind's connection with it.
The result - You look like a blob of seaweed on the sand and then fly your virtually new Mavic drone into a tree because you were too busy trying to look deep and soulful when you should have been, you know, paying attention and shit. #djisupport
The concept - You're a classy world traveller with a knockout partner/soulmate who is leading you onwards towards the next incredible experience in your non-stop thrill-ride of a life. #soblessed #instatraveling #theregoesthetrustfund
The result - 300 Pakistani men flood your Instagram comments with 'show your vagine beautiful'
The concept - Young people eschew their mobile digital devices and pumpkin spice lattes for meaningful exploration of the wilderness.
The result - It's pretty obvious you pulled up at a scenic lookout with a 50metre walk from the carpark and that your girlfriend is probably a) freezing her petite tits off and b) there's a queue of other girls in folksy summer dresses and floppy boho hats waiting for their #travelstoke moment. #vsco #intothewild #butnotforlong
The concept - You're easy like Sunday morning, totally at ease with travelling the world, always open to new experiences and new tastes. #foodielife #thenameofthetravelorganisationthatpaidmetobehere
The result - Oh look, another photograph of some artfully arranged halloumi, avocado, rocket, pear, cherry tomato and balsamic dressing on wretched fucking sourdough toast #ittasteslikerubber #ididntactuallyeatanyofthis
The concept - Far from civilisation, you have connected with your inner soul, gazed far with your third eye and are at one with Gaia within the incredible surroundings of pristine nature. #wildernessculture #passionpassport #erectnipplesandacameltoe
The result - Just as you begin to relax in the water you see a shadow moving in the water beneath you and thrash your way to the shore/bank/boat before collapsing in a sobbing hysterical mess on the shoulder of your stylist. Years later you show the photograph to your psychiatrist and tell her that this was the precise moment when you became petrified of open water. The psychiatrist doesn't believe you and tries to point the finger of blame at that time your brother Timmy pushed you into the backyard paddling pool and you landed awkwardly on your My Little Pony water pistol.
The concept - You are just so high on life and so athletic and so healthy that you just can't contain yourself and you need to jump ecstatically into the air like a beachy ballerina.
The result - You wanted to mix things up a little bit because you're on your fifth straight shot-from-the-back folksy dress/boho hat scenic lookout #travelstoke so you thought you'd like, jump, in a bikini. Unfortunately it took 172 attempts to get the right look and your long suffering boyfriend Miles is so over it he's tossed your Sony A6500 into the ocean and walked back to the car where he's now repeatedly kicking the glove box of your hire car which will mean you lose your security deposit.
